Is there someone? A cultist?

Bacon_Elemental

I wonder where Gaius is standing in that picture there?
…funny, it almost resembles the interior of the Mages’ Guilds in Oblivion– and of the Kvatch Mages’ Guild here in Prequel.
Do you think this could be why everyone hates the Kvatch Mages’ Guild? I know I’d be a bit distrustful of a guild-leading mage communing with Daedric Lords, particularly the Prince of Nightmares. >_>”

Pajaul

…as this is a flashback, do we really have anything to do here?
How does one give commands for something that already happened?

Bacon_Elemental

Well, we could be defining the minor canonical details of this encounter, while Kazerad guides the plot where Kazerad intends to take it. Also, if you think about it, we’re commanding a past event already– this is all taking place before Oblivion, so we’re already taking at least one step back in time to shout at history. Why not take another? ^_^

Pajaul

Because we could go deeper.
I say, we have a flashback during a flashback OF our flashback while we go back to back and back again with the future.

Bacon_Elemental

Leonardo diCaprio, get your ass over here.
Your work is needed.

Someone Who Will Not Be Named

But then if we want to tell the tale to others, having so many extra flashbacks would be confusing.

Pajaul

Naw, we’ll just use a flashback to explain it all.

Terashi

yay new update~

Lesair

Yay,new update!(only one sentence and picture) Well…. Ok then.

theplunderking

I missed like 3 updates in one week. Nice work kaz, although it kinda threw me through a loop to see that we were suddenly that a**hole guard. I also feel like a flash game could be in the vicinity. This looks suspiciously like the set up for katia’s entrance to the mages guild

Willhelm

………. not Vaermina… NOT VAERMINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAAAIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fishing4Food

Oh dear, everybody knows a visit to the mages guild is going to end in tears.

Sithis

Good…good……I can feel a hundred souls already reserving their space in my Void…

Proud of you, Dagon, my son!

Anuiel

Creep.

Dark Brotherhood Assassin

Hail Sithis.

>Keep looking around, this looks like a room that could potentially be full of cultists.

This is clearly a cultists den, you should probably cover a stick in cloth, soak it in lamp oil, and light it on fire, cultists CANT STAND fire. The unholy wretches are practically Daemons themselves. Burn them out, if you have to.

Caching

David McKee

Just another day on the job, I guess.
It’s nice and quiet out in Kvatch, unlike the Imperial City. Almost too quiet.
What did you do yesterday? Got up, patrolled around town, went home, went to bed.
Same as every damn day.

Still. Gotta thank Uriel Septim for that. Long may he reign. And he can decide where you go today.

> Take coin out of pocket. Flip. Uriel left; Akatosh right.

Ves

Hey look up toward the top right there’s a link to where you submit commands don’t put them here.

Drewmeister

You are now hearing voices in your head. That’s probably not a good thing. It’s best if you try to shut them out, before they have you get drunk and wake up naked in some Argonian’s bed.

Vaermina

We meet again, mortal soldier. For we have met before, whether you know it or not. When you mutter in your sleep, you speak to me. When you waken wet with sweat, you’ve just left my house. I dwell in your dreams; I savour your nightmares.
This doesn’t mean I’ll tell you anything about nightmares though. Perhaps if you conduct an errand for me…

THeBurningFox

QUICK!

Check the room for any Cultists

Commander_AM

KICK THE PRINCE!!

Roose Bolton

Vaermina- F his S up.

Katia- walk away from smoke in city to imperial city. team up with the first paroled convict you see in an adventurer that will change the face of Tamriel forever and ever.

ikearat

I don’t like being Captain Gaius Atrum. My eyes shift about muchly and my posture is bad.

Zer0DusT

geez you know this comic is getting good if its getting noticed by characters outside of the series

I used to be as patient as you, but I got bored, so I spread this big rumor that I got an arrow in the knee… It was working perfectly, them I realy took an arrow to the arm, the gods are funny like that…

medicman4444

Leonash

… But I can’t draw anything more complex then a line that has issues standing straight….

Loon

Which is absolutely perfect.

No, really.

I think it’s time for some contemplative beard stroking.

Baron Lee

I JUST READ THE REST OF THIS, FOUND AMAZING MUSIC, AND I WANT TO SEE MORRRREEEEE!!!!!!! PLASMA YOUR AWESOME!

egg brother

HEY KAZ YOUR SHORTING US WE WANT UPDATE. please thank you sorry for the trouble

Trance

If you feel you haven’t received enough content for your money, you are free to ask for a refund.

Dagda Mor

I just noticed that I know this Varkarrus person from elsewhere.

ASDF man

I just reread the whole thing. You have quite a piece of work here kaz. I have some questions though. When DO you update? You used o update on sundays or so but now… I can see no pattern. Is there one? Or are you just gonna post em on whenever they’re done?

Kazerad

Right now there isn’t a whole lot of a pattern, sadly; I’m pretty much posting them as I finish them. I’m hoping it will speed up soon, though.

Gunner

Finally decided to have a gander in the MSPA forum thread for this. Also decided to post in there. Loving what you’re doing here, Kaz! Keep it up :3

Leonash

II just looked over the comments on this one… So much beard stroke want… I’m starting to get worried he might rip it out.

Since I’ve been reading Prequel for a long time now, its time for me to write a real review. Afterall, that’s the whole point of the comments section, webcomic authors need feedback and constructive criticisms from their viewers, that’s probably why Kazerad allow comments on this site.

One of the dissapointing things about Prequel is that the only reason why the viewers love the main character is because she attracts sympathy when she screws up, and she looks sort of cute. But there’s nothing about her for anyone to be proud in, we all feel sorry for the hero that never was.

One of the main strengths is that great use of shading effects are used in the artwork to help make the reader feel a certain emotion, it uses dramatic rather than realistic lighting. Plus the drawings are great, and get progressively greater as the story moves on.

A possible down side of the artwork is it seems that some of the panels have been edited. I’m not exactly sure about this one, but when I look at some of the old panels they look as though they’ve been changed.

Not as funny as homestuck,

On the good side, Kaz didn’t format the whole thing as if it were just a videogame. That part kinda makes me not feel for homestuck, plus homestuck had too many annoying things in it, like made up words and complex syllabex’s. Plus the switching too and from the future and present was too frequent in homestuck.

It would be cool to see scenes that take place in the near future.

Ves

Just mentioning but don’t you think as someone supposedly writing a real review that you are comparing this to a different story, is just a bit I don’t know showing favoritism to the other story? This doesn’t have to be as funny as Homestuck because Kaz might not necessarily want it to be.

I was comparing it to homestuck because I believe that’s the story that inspired Kaz to write this, since that’s what I heard in some kind of interview podcast.

I actually think prequel is better though. One thing is that the drawings in Prequel are 3D, while the drawing in homestuck are axonometric projections. The dethp perception is off in homestuck because Hussie forgot that objects get smaller the further away they go. In some of the pictures, you can edit them to make impossible images, for example the stairs my go upward but if you look closely the stairs might be only going horizontal and you could draw lines connecting things that are supposed to be on a different height. In homestuck some of the furniture looks as though it could be going through walls.

Plus homestuck has a lot of annoying distracting things that take attention away from the story.

Lord Night

Captian, get your sword out ready, ya know there’s cultists near by

Mesterio

Does anything seems different when you wake up from the nightmares?

SuperGnome

Definitely, don’t have a negative experience. A negative experience at this-… thing that-… is- is… Okay where the hell am I again? I should probably avoid negativity either way.

Lambguy

It’s good to finally be controlling a capable and responsible adult!

Katt

Katt is a responsible adult from the clan saber in Skyrim …… no really……okay im a drunk to and a theif and a murderrer and a (This goes on a while) and a Dovahkin im a khajit oh shergroth thanks for the wabbajack you my hommie

Dragon

Hmm, I’d like to see how we’re going to kill this guy. It’d be pretty difficult to do a retcon at this point.
